The 2022 season may be over for Reds slugger Joey Votto, but even rotator cuff surgery couldn’t dampen his well-known sense of humor.
After the team announced that he underwent successful surgery Friday to repair a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder, the Cincinnati first baseman took to Twitter to joke about the reason that his year was coming to an end.
“I didn’t know I was hurt. Thought I just stunk,” Votto wrote.
Votto, a six-time All-Star and former National League MVP, is right to point out that his output at the plate hasn’t been up to his usual lofty standards this season.
